Hampton Park Who's Who
Public Profile
I am a retired school principal and teacher/trainer/consultant on school camping and youth adventure education. I am very concerned about the current dropout rate of high school students, currently 24%.
As a contribution to helping dropout teens to stay in education during their transition years 15-18, I am working on creating a fleet of Houseboat style School ships working as "Cocoons' to reset the thinking of these dropout teens at risk.

Avoca trust
Aerie College and the associated DGR Trust Avoca trust plans to establish a fleet of school ships working the Murray to hold Teens aged 15-18 at risk of education dropout. The SA Law dictates that these young people are required to continue their education. Parents are at risk of a fine if their children drop out of school.

🏅 Arthur Wren and Robert Booth
Hampton Park Tennis Club’s history records Robert Booth’s family as owners of land later purchased by the local Progress Association for community recreation. Arthur Wren helped create its first tennis court, borrowing a friend’s Fordson grader to level the ground. Families who knew one another through local dances began playing there, before the tennis club was formally established in 1962. The story gives two local names a practical sporting connection: the ground and the work that made a first court possible.
